Another week...another month

As another week draws to a close, I am forced to think about how fast the first month of the year went by. SO quickly has January flown. This weekend, as every weekend for the past month, I will be dog sitting. And when I arrive back home...it will be February already! Have I stuck to a resolution? Well, seeing as I didn't ever make an official resolution there was nothing to stick to. I can say that I have gotten better at a few things...I have managed to start to keep my apartment more cleaned up. No, as all of my past roommates would ask...that does NOT mean my room. HA. While I might have been good in college (sometimes) my room since has never seemed to remain clothes free. However, come laundry day...my room looks spotless. :)

I have also begun to work out more. I have lost 4 lbs in the past 2 weeks....and for that I am VERY excited! Weight is something I have struggled with all my life, and I finally feel like I am taking control, instead of it controlling me! That is a GREAT feeling! Now I just pray that I stay dedicated.

I have been working on a lot of little things about myself recently...how to trust myself, how to truly trust others. How to stand my ground when I know I am right. How to accept that sometimes confrontation is just necessary. How to not give attitude, when that attitude is not deserved. How to handle my stress a little more maturely, instead of getting ulcers all the freakin time. These are things that I think will help me as a human being. Not only to grow in the work environment but in relationships and friendships as well.

I have had the opportunity also to have many conversations with my coworker about the Lord. I am so blessed that God still chooses to use me in ways I can not comprehend. We as humans are so falibible. That God would ever trust us to be His mouths is still overwhelming to me. Every conversation we have I feel like I might let God down, but he manages to put words into my mouth that I don't even know where they came from. He is so good!

Friendships are finally being formed here...and my life is slowly getting rooted. I am loving where I see my growth, and my life taking me right now. SO as this month ends, I look forward to February, and the challenges and delites that that new month will bring.

Life

Wow, there is lots going on right now. Because I am processing most of it, I will right about just one thing...My family.

I love my family, unconditionally, but its really hard when you are trying to be the rational, intellegent, and responsible person you know you should be, and those closest to you try to tell you you are nuts for doing so.

The example can basically be summed up in a short version...I know my limits. Financially speaking. And when it comes to most things, I will not strech beyound them. I have done this too much and am now working to get out of the whole that causes.

So, when I say I can't afford something, it means I can't afford it. If I say I can make a little bit more work, I mean I can only make that little bit more work.

I think ultimately, I am learning, that part of my drama filled life, and insecurity, and feeling like any decision I make could cause a fall out between me and the person's involved, stems from my family. Its not healthy, and I am tired of feeling that way. SO from now on, with support of friends, I have decided to always make what I feel is the best decision. No matter if the persons involved will get upset of not. Like in this situation...I know what I can do, and thats all I will do. No matter what.

Years

I was thinking a lot today...after reading through some different blogs, and just reflecting on life. I think it is crazy how one person can have the best year of their life, and in the same city, town, zipcode, a friend of theirs, or someone they don't even know...is having the worst year of their life.

Guess I am a looser and have no life. HAHA

Its been a while

So Jack, you are definitely way better at this blogging thing than I am. Considering you have written three different blogs, since I last posted. WOW...you are what I aspire to be. :). So I don't really have too much to say this morning. It is my second day back to work, and I am BORED out of my mind. I will have to update when I get home tonight or tomorrow and put up some pics of Christmas. Although I really believe that I only have two readers...and the two of you have probably already looked at my pics on Facebook. I am going to start planning out funnier blogs, or more entertaining blogs, since the two of you use this as an escape from work. :)

OK....there really isn't anything more to say for now...

sooooo....till next time!
